As Alike as Dutch Dolls.

Such little innocents Dutch childrel look, but in reality they are the most mischievous little rascals in the world. They would wait in swarms outside my hotel in Holland, and follow me to my workshop clamoring for coppers, which they generally managed to get. Some of them would get tipped twice over—they are so much alike in their general “get up” that it Is dilficult to distinguish them. I once had a little model posing for me all day, and the next she did not turn up, so my friend went round for the reason, and he was surprised to hear from the Indignant mother that I had only given her daughter about twopence. I discovered afterward that this was the case—but I had given 5 shillings to another littla girl who had been standing in my light all day.—Magazine of Art.
